Tuberous Breast Correction

Tuberous breasts, or tubular breasts, are a condition in which the breast is constricted and narrow at the base. The breast looks more like a cylinder than the dome shape most breasts have. In many cases, there is tissue pushing against the areola and nipple causing the tip of the breast to bulge and enlarge.

Surgical correction for tuberous breasts involves making an incision around the areolae and making internal incisions to release the tight breast tissues. The procedure can be combined with breast augmentation or a breast lift, but usually takes between 2 and 3 hours if done by itself. Light anesthesia or general anesthesia can be used.

You usually can go home after a few hours after this type of surgery, but will have to wear surgical dressings and a light compression garment for a few days. You can resume light activities within the first week, and most of your usual activities about 3 weeks after surgery. Stitches are removed 7 days. Expect to be off of work for between 3 and 7 days. Your breasts will take some time to expand and stretch into a more normal, round look.
